Bodog Life Goes to Battle with Patent Trolls | IXGAMES
Seven weeks after the Bodog businesses lost control of their previous domain names as a result of an improperly-obtained default judgment, the attempt by 1st Technology LLC to extort close to $49 million has been challenged with disappointing results for international fairness. In today’s hearing held in Las Vegas, Nev. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, 1st Technology’s request for a permanent injunction to halt all Bodog business in the U.S. was denied, as was a more recent *emergency* request to stop any redirection of Internet traffic to BodogLife.com. The U.S. federal judge found that 1st Technology’s motions for a permanent injunction were faulty and requested inappropriate relief. In its minute order issued today, the court wrote that 1st Technology *failed to satisfy the requirements for permanent injunctive relief and in the Court’s view, is requesting relief beyond this Court’s power to grant.* In any event, the entity named as a defendant in the lawsuit – Bodog Entertainment Group, S.A. – does not have the legal ability to affect any of the relief which 1st Technology sought, so 1st Technology’s two motions for permanent injunctions were in many ways moot.
